Summer wedding in Solana Beach and Del Mar, California Katie's mother Peggy and her husband Tim were our neighbors a couple of years ago when Adm and I first moved to Oakland, and so when Katie contacted us about photographing her wedding, we were incredibly honored. And once we met Katie and James and the rest of their families, we felt even more privileged to document this special day for these two. Their families were so nice and so easy going about everything. During James' toast, he talked about how while growing up, he never saw his parents fight or lose their composure, and although we just met Katie and James, we have a feeling these two are the same way with one another. It was such a pleasure just being around the two of them.

Their wedding took place at James' parent's beautiful home in Solana Beach, and it was the perfect backyard summer wedding. Katie and James included their dog Ember and their parents' dog Cabo in the wedding festivities. The ceremony was lovely and personal and included moments where Katie and James honored both of their parents and James' grandparents, who were the longest married couple. After the cake-cutting, we were able to sneak these two off to a nearby beach for some photos at sunset, and we arrived just in time to catch a glimmer of the sun peeking through the clouds. It was the perfect way to end a wonderful day. Congratulations, Katie and James!
